Next to my keyboard sits a tin of Callard & Bowser's Ginger Altoids. In the last hour alone, I've chomped through at least a dozen of the curiously strong lozenges. Even though I feel REALLY awake, I'm also hankering for other things ginger, such as a ginger perfume.

Jo Malone, for instance, sells a classic nutmeg and ginger cologne that has been part of her perfume collection since her humble beginnings as an independent aesthetician. The warm, woody scents of sandalwood and cedarwood are blended with the fragrance of nutmeg and ginger for dynamic but delicious cologne that would surely satisfy my ginger tooth without making me smell like a jar of ginger in a sushi restaurant.
